Broncos will have key offensive lineman available for Texans game

HOUSTON — The Broncos will have offensive lineman Alex Palczewski ready to go for their Week 9 game against Houston.

The third-year veteran was listed as questionable on Saturday due to an illness, but he was not among the Broncos’ seven inactives announced 90 minutes prior to kickoff of Sunday’s contest at NRG Stadium.

Palczewski has started the last two games at left guard following injuries to Ben Powers and Matt Peart.

Safety J.T. Gray will also make his Broncos debut after being active the last two weeks. Gray is in uniform with P.J. Locke out due to a neck injury.

Denver’s inactives against the Texans are:

• TE Nate Adkins
• DE Jordan Jackson
• DE Sai’vion Jones
• RB Jaleel McLaughlin
• S P.J. Locke
• WR Marvin Mims Jr.
• CB Pat Surtain II

Adkins, Locke, Mims and Surtain were established on Friday when the Broncos listed them as out for Week 9 due to their injuries. Locke was the only one of that quartet who practiced at all this week.
